cheesy is a photo app where everyone shares one camera and takes 27 photos together. Each member of the group gets to press the shutter, but no one can preview the photos until all 27 shots are taken. Without being able to check each photo right away, you naturally focus more on the moment you’re in. Later, an envelope arrives with the photos inside. Opening it together and looking back on those moments becomes part of the experience. Because you can’t see the photos instantly, you capture memories that feel a little more special. Make life a little cheesier.

Halfshotは、離れた2人が「半分ずつ」写真を撮って1枚のツーショットに合成するSNSです。 グータッチ、ハート、乾杯——2人揃って完成するポーズの上半分だけを撮って友達に送ると、相手が残りの下半分を撮影。ぴったり重なって、1枚の写真になります。 ■ 言葉はいらない 「連絡するほどの用事はないけど、離れた友達とゆるく絡みたい」。Halfshotにテキスト入力はありません。半分の写真を送るだけで、会話が始まります。 ■ 埋めたくなる 届いた写真は、半分だけ。相手の待っている手に、自分の手を合わせて撮る。それだけで、離れていても一緒にいたような1枚が残ります。 ■ 2人だけの場所 やり取りした写真は、2人のアルバムに残ります。公開するかどうかは2人で決める仕組み。どちらか一方だけでは公開できません。 ■ こんな人に ・上京や転勤で離れた友達と繋がっていたい ・実家を出た家族とゆるく連絡を取りたい ・写真でふざけ合える相手がいる 【主な機能】 ・Google / Appleアカウントでかんたんサインイン ・ユーザー名で友達を検索・追加 ・上半分/下半分を選んで撮影、自動で1枚に合成 ・2人だけのアルバム ・双方の承認による公開フィード投稿 ・通報・ブロック機能
